PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ENWARE AQUALBLEND 2000 Thermostatic Mixing Valve is available in two variations, complete with inlet service
ttings. The inlet to the ttings is ½” BSP male for ATM711, and ¾” BSP female for ATM713. The outlet from both valves is ¾” BSP male. The service ttings consist of isolating ball
valves, strainers, pressure test points and non-return valves. The strainers can be serviced and cleaned without disturbing the installation (refer to Maintenance & Servicing Pg 15).
The inlet service ttings also incorporate union type ttings
enabling the thermostatic mixing valve to be removed from its installation without disturbing its pipework.
The schematics and dimensions of the Aquablend 2000 Male & Female valves and corresponding order codes are shown below in Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively.

Figure 3 (below) shows a general arrangement drawing of the ENWARE AQUABLEND 2000 Thermostatic Mixing Valve showing the method of operation.
Hot and cold water is supplied to each side of the valve respectively. The hot water enters through a port below the Piston, the cold water enters above the Piston. Upon entry the water begins to blend and enters the Mixing Tube. At this point the mixed water contacts the thermostatic wax Element. The Element will extend or contract to match the water temperature it is exposed to causing the Piston to move, thereby regulating the amounts of hot and cold water entering the valve. This thermostatic mechanism maintains the mixed water temperature at a constant temperature.
If for example the inlet hot pressure dropped, the ow of hot
water into the valve would be reduced and the valve would react as per the following sequence of events:
• Element is exposed to mixed water at a reduced temperature
• Thermostatic Element contracting
• Piston is pushed upwards by the return spring restricting cold

ow, consequently opening more of hot port
• Valve attempts to restore itself to original temperature setting
Similarly if the hot inlet temperature dropped, the element would again see blended water at a lower temperature and therefore the Element would again contract reducing the cold port piston gap and hence supply more hot water and less cold. Once again the valve attempts to restore itself to its original setting. This will occur for all changing conditions
including changes to ow rate, inlet temperatures and inlet
pressures.
In the event of a sudden loss of the cold water supply the
Piston will shut off the hot port thus stopping any ow through
the valve. The valve will also shut down the cold supply if there is a hot water failure.

NOTE: Stable temperature water is available at 2 litres/
minute however to ensure optimum performance it is
recommended the minimum outlet ow of the mixing valve during operation should be 4 litres/minute.
It is important that the valve is sized such that the ow rates
from the outlets are not less than those listed in AS3500.1 Sec 3. The pipework between the valve and the system must be sized in accordance with AS3500.1 to ensure the water velocity in the pipework is within the allowed limit.
If the valve is to be installed and operated under unequal inlet pressures the lower inlet pressure determines the outlet
ow rate. However, for optimum performance and stability
it is recommended that the valve be installed with balanced dynamic inlet pressures (+/- 10%).

INSTALLATION
The ENWARE AQUABLEND 2000 Thermostatic Mixing Valve should be installed using the appropriate Standard, Code of Practice and Legislation applicable to each state and following the details outlined in this section.
The ENWARE AQUABLEND 2000 must be installed by a licensed plumber, or where applicable, a licensed plumber who has undertaken T.A.F.E. or equivalent accredited training in Thermostatic Mixing Valves.
NOTE: To effectively control microbial hazards during system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance, the requirements outlined in AS/NZS3666 and local legislation shall be adhered to.
Inlet connections on the valve are clearly marked. The hot
inlet is indicated by a red identication ring on the inlet and the cold inlet by a blue identication ring.
If the valve is not installed correctly then it will not function correctly and may put the user in danger. It may also void the warranty of the valve.
Prior to the installation of the valve, the system must be checked to ensure that the system operating conditions fall within the recommended operating range of the AQUABLEND
2000 Thermostatic Mixing Valve as detailed on page 7. If
the hot water supply temperature is greater than 90°C the valve may be damaged. A suitable temperature limiting
valve must be tted to the hot water supply, prior to the inlet ttings, if the temperature of the hot water will rise above 90°C.
This temperature limiting valve must be installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, use AQUABLEND
1500 SOLAR - Code ATM715. It is also important that
both of the inlet dynamic supply pressures are 500kPa or less. If either supply pressure exceeds 500kPa then a
suitable pressure reducing valve must be tted prior to the
inlet control valve to reduce the pressure to an acceptable limit. These pressure reducing valves must be installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions. In order to achieve optimum
Page 10
www.enware.com.au Call 1300 369 273 10
performance from the valve it is recommended that the inlet pressures are balanced to within 10% of each other. The water quality conditions should be checked to ensure they do not exceed the limits as listed in Section 1.6 of AS3500.4. If they do exceed these limits then it will be necessary to install a water softener or water treatment device.
NOTE: In some installations where certain types of tapware, such as ick mixers and solenoid valves, are used; the water pressure may be seen to spike outside that recommended for the valve during rapid shut off conditions with these types of devices. Even if the spike only lasts a split second it is still considered to be outside the operating conditions and may cause the valve to operate incorrectly. In the event that this does occur measures must be taken to control the spike, such as inline pressure reducing valves directly before the valve inlets.
To ensure that the mixing valve operates correctly it is necessary that the pipework is thoroughly ushed with clean water before the valve is installed. This will remove any physical contaminants from the pipework, ensuring trouble-free operation. During the ushing procedure care should be taken to prevent water damage occurring to the surrounding area.
It is required by AS3500.4 Sec 3 that “Each Thermostatic Mixing Valve shall have an isolating stop tap/valve, line strainer and non-return valve tted to the hot and cold water
supply lines”. The inlet ttings supplied with each TMV will
ensure this requirement is met. If the ENWARE AQUABLEND 2000 Thermostatic Mixing Valve is to be installed without the supplied inlet control valves then it will be necessary to install a separate isolating valve, non-return valve and strainer to
both inlets to the valve. Strainers must be tted to prevent
any particulate contamination from entering the valve. These strainers should be 60 Mesh stainless steel. Isolating valves are required so that the water supply to the valve can be
Page 11
11 Call 1300 369 273 www.enware.com.au
isolated in the event that servicing is required. Non-return
devices must also be tted to both the hot and cold inlets to
prevent cross-connection.
The valve should be installed so it can be accessed easily for maintenance or servicing. The valve can be installed in a wall cavity, under a basin or on a wall, however it is essential
that the mixing valve and inlet ttings are easily accessible for
servicing.
During installation or servicing heat must not
be applied near the mixing valve or inlet ttings, as this will damage the valve and inlet tting
internals. Failure to comply with this requirement will
damage the valve and ttings. It will put the user at risk, and it will void the warranty of the valve.

COMMISSIONING OF THE VALVE
Upon completion of the installation, the valve should be tested & commissioned as per the procedure outlined below
or as specied by the local authority. The entire procedure
should be read through thoroughly prior to the commissioning of the valve. A calibrated digital thermometer having rapid
response time with maximum temperature hold, small at
bladed screwdriver and the adjusting key (supplied with the AQUABLEND 2000) will be required to check & set the outlet mixed temperature of the valve. Enware provides a complete test kit for this procedure.
(Order Code ATMS1200)
• Ensure all outlets that will be serviced by the valve have adequate warning signs posted to ensure that no outlet is used during commissioning
• Open the cold supply line to the valve, then open the hot supply line, ensuring there are no leaks
• Open the outlet that is serviced by the shortest length of pipe
work between the mixing valve and outlet xture
• Allow the mixed outlet to ow for at least 60 seconds to
allow the temperature to stabilise before taking a temperature reading at the outlet with a digital thermometer. For optimum
performance the ow rate should be at least 4 litres/min. The ow rate can be checked with the aid of a known size
container and a stopwatch or an Enware Flowcup supplied with ATMS1200. The temperature should be taken at the closest outlet served by the thermostatic mixing valve
If the outlet temperature requires adjustment the following
steps are required:
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
1. Using a small at bladed screw driver lever the protective
cover off the valve (Figure 6). (over page)
2. Fit the supplied key over the adjusting spindle (Figure 7)
• To increase the mixed outlet temperature, rotate the
spindle anti-clockwise
• To decrease the mixed outlet temperature, rotate the
spindle clockwise
3. Allow the mixed outlet temperature to stabilize for 60
Page 13
13 Call 1300 369 273 www.enware.com.au
seconds and once again take a temperature reading. Repeat the procedure until the desired temperature has been reached.
4. Push the top cover rmly on to the top of the valve until it
‘snaps’ back into place.
5. Check that the outlet temperature is stable over the full
range of ow rates and that the ow rate is adequate for the
application.
6. Close the outlet.
7. The mixing valve is now set and locked.

www.enware.com.au Call 1300 369 273 14
SHUT DOWN TEST
Now that the mixing valve has been set and locked it is
necessary to perform a shut down check.
• Allow the mixed water temperature to stabilise and note the outlet temperature. While holding a digital thermometer in the
outlet ow, quickly isolate the cold water supply to the valve. The outlet ow should quickly cease owing. As a guide the ow should be less than 0.2 litre/min following the isolation. Monitor the maximum outlet ow temperature, record this on
the Commissioning Report (page 20). The temperature should not exceed that allowed by the applicable standard or code of practice for each state. Restore the cold water supply to the valve. After the mixed water temperature has stabilised note the outlet temperature ensuring the outlet temperature has re­established.
• Repeat the above test, except this time quickly isolate the
hot water supply to the valve. The outlet ow should quickly
slow to a trickle - as a guide typically less than 0.4 litre/ min@500kPa down to less than 0.2litre/min@100kPa following the isolation. Restore the hot water supply to the valve and measure and record in the Commissioning Report (page 20) the outlet temperature after the mixed water temperature has stabilised ensuring the outlet temperature has re-established.
• Ensure that all details of the Commissioning Report are completed & signed by the relevant signatories & a copy is kept with the installer and owner of the premises.
The valve is now commissioned and it can be used within the
technical limits of operation.

Appendix 1 - The Pressure Loss Ratio Calculation
At all times the conditions at the valve must be within
the specied pressure loss ratio to ensure that the outlet
temperature remains within the stated limits.
Pressure Loss Ratio is determined as follows: At the valve, the difference between the cold inlet pressure
and the outlet pressure (back pressure) under ow conditions
is the pressure loss across the cold side. Similarly for the hot side. The ratio of the larger pressure loss over the smaller pressure loss gives the pressure loss ratio. For example, with a cold supply pressure of 500 kPa, a hot supply pressure
of 250 kPa and a back pressure of 200 kPa (under ow
conditions), the pressure loss ratio is
= (cold pressure - back pressure) / (hot pressure - back pressure) = (500 - 200) / (250 - 200) = 300 / 50 = 6 : 1 pressure loss ratio
Note - the inlet supply pressures alone will not give an accurate indication of the pressure loss ratio! (In this case a 2:1 inlet supply pressure ratio is actually a 6:1 pressure loss
ratio under ow conditions.)
Note also - the static supply pressures give absolutely no indication whatsoever of the pressure loss ratio. Only
pressures under ow conditions should be used to calculate
pressure loss ratio.

PRODUCT WARRANTY
The ENWARE AQUABLEND 2000 Thermostatic Mixing Valve is guaranteed free from manufacturing defects for a period of 24 months*, subject to the conditions outlined below:
Enware Product Warranty
Subject to the warranty conditions and exclusions set out below ENWARE valves are warranted to be free from defects in material and/or workmanship for a period of 24 months service life and if found by ENWARE to be so defective will be replaced as set out below. If the valve is sold by a party other than ENWARE then it is sold by that seller as principal and the seller has no authority from ENWARE to give any additional warranty on behalf of ENWARE.
The benets of this warranty are in addition to all other rights
and remedies which the purchaser may have under the Trade Practices Act (Cwth) or similar laws of each State and Territory in Australia.
Warranty Conditions
The valve must have been installed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the ENWARE Installation Instructions and Application Guidelines supplied with the valve, and in accordance with the National Plumbing and Drainage Code AS3500 (the Code) current at the date of installation and all relevant statutory and local requirements in the State or Territory in which the valve is installed.
Where the valve is installed outside the boundaries of a
metropolitan area as dened by ENWARE, the cost of
transport insurance and travelling shall be the purchaser’s responsibility. (Refer to the ENWARE scale of fees for replacement of valves).
Where the valve comprises part of a hot water system, installation of that system must be in accordance with its manufacturer’s recommendations, the Code and all relevant statutory and local State or Territory requirements.
* 5 Years Conditional Warranty: 2 years parts and labour on the complete assembly; an additional 3 years parts supply only on the valve body excluding
inlet tting assemblies.

The valve must be returned to ENWARE with a fully & correctly completed ENWARE Warranty Claim Form.
Where the valve is replaced under warranty the replacement valve carries a new warranty as detailed herein.
Warranty Exclusions
Replacement work will be carried out as set out in the ENWARE Warranty above, but the following exclusions may cause the warranty to become void, and may incur a service charge including cost of parts where:
Damage has been caused by accident, Acts of God, misuse, incorrect installation of the hot water system of which the valve forms a part or attempts to disassemble the valve.
It is found that there is nothing wrong with the valve.
The failure of the valve is due in part or in whole to faulty manufacture/installation of the hot water system of which the valve forms part.
The valve has failed directly or indirectly as a result of excessive water pressure or temperature outside the Application Guidelines, thermal input or corrosive environment.
The valve has failed due to foreign matter either from installation or the water supply.
The failure of the valve is due to scale formation in the waterways of the valve.
The failure of the valve is due in part, or in whole, to installation not in conformance with the requirements of the Code.
ENWARE reserves the right to change its specications
without prior notice and will not accept liability for any claim arising from such change.
Subject to any statutory provisions to the contrary, claims for damage to furniture, carpets, walls, foundations or any other consequential loss either directly or indirectly due to leakage from the valve are also excluded from warranty cover.
